Planning in Birmingham
A few useful answers.
Is Birmingham a destination booking with a travel fee?
No. Birmingham, Mountain Brook and Homewood are a home market alongside Nashville. The same menus and published prices apply, the standard event minimum applies, and there is no travel fee. Dinner for Two is available in Nashville only.
Which communities do you cook in around Birmingham?
Birmingham, Mountain Brook and Homewood. If you are just outside those and want to ask, send the address and I'll tell you honestly whether it is a home-market booking or a destination one.
What is included in the price?
Everything on the night: the food and ingredients, plates and silverware, a dedicated server for the table, course-by-course service and clearing, and kitchen cleanup before I leave.
How does payment work?
You book the date online and pay a deposit that depends on how far out the date is — 25% at 46 days or more, 50% inside 45 days, and the full amount inside 14 days. Any remaining balance is charged automatically seven days before the event.
Can you cook in my kitchen?
Almost certainly. Tell me what the kitchen has — oven, cooktop, counter space, fridge — and I'll confirm the setup with you before the date is locked, so nothing is a surprise on the night.
